Nightmare

I woke up again to a nameless fear.

I'm quivering and quaking in my bed.

My eyes are open. I'm sobbing real tears

Awaiting calmer feelings with some dread.



Rejected and desolate once again!

Nothing I have can console me from this.

I'm reliving deeply imbedded hurts

That could be cured with a hug and a kiss.



But no one is here to do that for me

And of course that's the source of the trouble.

Even in dreams I feel I've been cast out

Along with all the rest of the rubble.



It is only 12:45 a.m.

It's like I've lived through another lifetime

In truth I'm relearning how to sleep

And hope that in dreams, as life, I'll acclime.
